IN-SITU CONVERSION PROCESS FOR OIL SHALE

摘要

Systems and methods for oil recovery from oil shale are described. Systems and methods may include a method for in-situ conversion of oil shale. The method may include providing one or more magnetic probes within an oil shale formation; providing magnetic nanoparticles into the oils shale formation; and alternating the magnetic field of the one or more magnetic probes to heat the oil shale formation. A system for in-situ conversion of oil shale may include one or more magnetic probes within an oil shale formation and magnetic nanoparticles within the oils shale formation. A magnetic field may be applied by the one or more magnetic probes to the magnetic nanoparticles to heat the oil shale formation. A composition for a fracture fluid may include a fracturing fluid and magnetic nanoparticles.
